Around 1939 AD, a school named Minor English School started its journey with about 15/20 students at Alinagar village in the then Bangabari Union under the Maldah Education Board which was the first step towards the establishment of Ahmadi Begum (AB) Government High School. Taheruddin Ahmed of Rajarampur village of Chapainawabganj district headquarters held the responsibility of the head teacher of the school at the time of establishment. After staying there for a year, the school was shifted to Makrampur village in the same union at the mouth of Mahananda Punarbhava river.
After the school was shifted to Makrampur village, some other teachers joined the previous teachers. Among them are Saiyab Chand Pandit of Birbhum, Sri Praveer Babu, Shaukat Ali and Tamiz Uddin.

In order to fulfill the request of the said persons, the then zamindar Mosa Shaukat Ara Kulsum Begum aka Kanij Hossain Ahmadi Begum donated about 5.00 acres (fifteen bigha) of land in the name of the school at Prasadpur Mauza, a few hundred yards away from Rohanpur Railway Station on the banks of Punarbhava River.
